I was a huge fan of Get Smart as a kid. And I think Barbara Feldon may have been my first crush.

Here's a few pieces of Get Smart merch I've acquired over the years.

Lol, a tad disappointed you don't have a shoe phone.

All the PBS shows - Sesame Street, Zoom, The Electric Company - but Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was by far number one with me. I was so into Mister Rogers as a young child, I'd put on a pink Fair Isle cardigan (with buttons, not a zipper like Fred's) and sneakers along with him as he sang "Won't You Be My Neighbor". And I'd feed my tropical fish when he fed his (with TetraMin flakes).

Found this video of Fred Rogers testifying before the US Senate in '69. Mister Rogers's goodness actually turns me on!

His finest moment. Every time I revisit this clip I tear up with joy.

:0 BLIND DATE!!!! Didn't they almost always despise each other?
I remember that one and The Fifth Wheel would always play at really odd hours of the night (which I would watch at 4 am along with Just Shoot Me and The Outer Limits because I had raging insomnia in high school) and they were both such riveting and confusing adventures. I think the Fifth Wheel involved a bus..? Some sort of sexual punishment party bus?

OMG I used to watch Blind Date. It would be on around the same time as Cheaters for whatever reason. Cheaters was brilliant. Maury on location basically.
